Julian Rose “Israel is not a country. The word in Hebrew means ‘to strive with God’ (to work with God). It is a tribal aspiration, it is not a place. To give the name Israel to this area of land is a falsification. It comes from the Zionist belief that this country is the original homeland of the Jews. There is no historical evidence for this belief, it is a dangerous fixation. Zionism is not Judaism.”

When religious superstition and cognitive dissonance meet = Christian Zionists.
Got to hand it to people who can twist their brain into a pretzel to feel good about themselves no matter how many others are suffering and dying.

Zionists use Jews as human shields. Rabbis burn Israeli flag.

As noted, children are all indoctrinated into their culture.
When the culture becomes rotten and murderous, so become the children.

Thank you Democracy Now and Ilan Pappe, Israeli 1973 war veteran, for being on the side of peace, reconciliation and liberation of the long oppressed Palestinian people.

Exactly right. I know a number of feisty English women like this one. Short and Sweet.

How the Israelis live easily with the occupation: number one they are the chosen people, number two, they are the victims, number three, the Palestinians are subhuman.

Piers is a one-trick pony. The gotcha question about October 7th with no greater context. He uses up all the time belaboring that single thing. For Piers, the story begins in the Third Act, not with the 1948 Nakba, or earlier. I'm 10 minutes into a 27-minute interview and so far, we haven't gone beyond the attack on October 7th. Finally at 12 1/2 minutes Norman Finkelstein begins to talk about the atrocities committed by Israel on the Palestinians in the Gaza strip concentration camp. Mowing the grass. High-tech massacres. At 14 minutes Piers goes back to the one-trick pony of October 7th. Just forget about the 75 years of horror visited upon the Palestinians by the Israelis granted and occupying Palestine since the British and the United Nations (1948) awarded them Palestine, beginning with the Balfour Declaration in 1917 https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2018/11/2/more-than-a-century-on-the-balfour-declaration-explained. A complete trashing of human rights. 18 minutes in Piers mentions rockets from terrorizing Israelis, as though there's any sort of military parity between Gaza and Israel. The one-trick pony can't stop harping on October 7th as he runs out the clock. Props to Norman Finkelstein for leaving his substack
comment in place. Compare Norman's honor to Piers lack thereof in bringing up the October 7th comparable to the Holocaust. He has no shame, does Piers Morgan. Finkelstein's description of his parent's animosity towards Germans and the reason why interesting and very understandable. Bottom line, you have the right to hate the people that destroy your lives. Norman Finklestein.

I've had and continue to have a blessed life. At age 80 I am perversely enjoying the circus. For now, I live in independent comfort and ease.
I just wonder if the breaking point will be at some level of US debt or if it can rise to infinity. I don't think so, and I have no idea what the crack up will look like, but it's likely to be spectacular. Helpless dolts left to their own devices for the first time in their lives.
World War 3?
Another great read in Lew Rockwell.
"But then, the show must go on, because the masses of dolts who make up what is referred to as societies and nation-states, need their dominating and manipulative circus in order to escape all sanity and reality by having a master to own and control them, so that they do not have to be responsible for themselves."

Women and children, women and children, women and children! Get it men, you are sh*t. Always have been, always will be. Don't talk to me about women's lib.

I was walking two neighbor ladies through the court, each holding on to one of my arms. Just then another concerned neighbor stopped his car to inquire if I was about to collapse.

For many years I rode several times a week with a particular group of cyclists. Whenever I could not make it, I felt like I was missing out. The lockdown and aging took me off the roster. The feeling of missing out is gone. In fact, today, riding solo, no one in sight, I thought everyone else was missing out.
It all depends on how you look at it.
Great read Steve...I love your last part about bike riding solo.....I agree with your assessment.
